Leaves Wilting on Purple Cherokee Tomato Plant

Our Cherokee tomato plants have leaves that are wilting, then eventually fall off. What can we do to solve this problem on our seedlings?

ANSWER:

Hi Linda,

Sorry to hear about your problem.

Did this happen right after they were transplanted? Are a lot of the leaves wilting, or just a few? How long has it been happening? Is it mostly at the top or bottom of the plant? Have you had any cold weather events before it started? If you can give me more information, it will be helpful.

Also, you might take one of the leaves into a good garden center in your area. It could be something common to your area, and easily identifiable.

It could be a tomato plant disease, transplant shock, cold weather, or lack of water. But I will need to know more before I can be of much help.
